Here’s what is happening, on Wikipedia (shows up fifth on Google search for
“Ron Paul”), in the Ron Paul Wikipedia page there is a person named “Tvoz”,
that keeps posting articles propagating lies stating that Ron Paul is a
racist. This person always puts it at the bottom of the Ron Paul Wikipedia
page. I think this person is hoping that news media and new people curious
about Ron Paul, will read these insinuations/lies and think badly of Ron.
The problem is that when ever I remove the lies, that person vandalizes the
page and puts it back on. In addition, they’ve got that page set to only
have older established Wikipedia account owners able to help remove the
lies/propaganda. So if you don’t have an old Wikipedia account, you may not
be able to help.

I just read the Tvoz revision of the page and find no objection to it.
It is posted NPOV and explains the controversy and Ron's explanation of it.
If people only hear of the allegations via Fox News or some other source, I think having Ron's explanation in the Wiki article is a good thing.

I have to agree with Razmear. They're not making an incident up - it happened. I'm betting the main stream media is just waiting to bring it up in the week before the primary.

We'd be better off if it came out now.

Now GTFO.

I was saying 'bingo!' to angelatc's prediction that it would be brought up again just before the primaries.
